    Question regarding wiring new light fixture.
    I am attempting to connect a new light fixture in my kitchen to replace an existing fluorescent light, that is controlled by two separate switches. There are two red wires, two white wires and two black wires coming from the electrical box. My new light has two white wires and two black wires. What wires get connected to what other wires?

    Have you removed the old fixture? Have you disconnected all the wires in the ceiling box?
